2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <eric.duma...@gmail.com>
commit 800416f799e0723635ac2d720ad4449917a1481c upstream.
When a node contains only HighMem memory, slab_node(MPOL_BIND)
dereferences a NULL pointer.
[ This code seems to go back all the way to commit 19770b32609b: "mm:
filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask". Which was back in
April 2008, and it got merged into 2.6.26. - Linus ]
